Yeah, some decent bikes on there. They're all miles away though-wouldn't mind picking up a local'ish bike. I've stretched my budget to £4000. A 300 enduro of some discription would be perfect.

Thanks for the help!

I know it can be a ball ache driving but if you call and get all your questions answered may be worth it in the long run? more choices I guess, only thing is you'll need an interepreter LOL

Ray/bombx has a nice un-abused exc-200

Having one myself and coming from a EXCF-250 it ticks all the boxes gor laning and none competitive enduros light weight (95kg ish) plenty of power but not so much it wants to kill you and supper fun. I know it's a little over budget but KTM don't make the 200 any more so it should hold its value better

It does look like a cracking bike, but at around 6'3" i think the bike would be a little cramped. I fancy a 300 because of the torque! What's the 200 motor like?

Thanks!

Putting my 2011 300exc up for sale this weekend around £2800 or slightly more if I leave the 2 ride old mousses in. Rebuilt engine in Feb by Kev Edwards, owned since 9 hrs, 370hrs currently with a ton of receipts to validate everything. Not in a hurry to sell, so I ain't gonna give it away, same as you seen all the crap out there.

I'll certainly vouch for Jonzy's bike being extremely well looked after and rides exceptionally well (he recently let me have a go @ Bratton). He has the power settings set fairly soft which means it can easily chug up anything as well as having more than enough power, plus some more again, when required.

Jonzy can be a bit anal about bike maintenance & even when he had the last piston change done he was told the bottom end was still good, but that there was their was fractional amount of play which would mean they may need doing next time. However rather than waiting he wanted the bike running 100% all the time, so got the full work completed (I think 90% of normal bike owners would have probably waited).

I had a 200 before my current 250. I did love it and kept it for several years. However it wasn't until I got my 250 that I realised how much extra work I had needed to put into the 200 to get the most from it. Extra gear changes and having to work that little bit more on the power delivery side. The 250 (and likewise the 300) have that extra low down grunt that you just cant get from a 200 cubic centimetres. I did like the lighter feeling weight of my 200 (I'm sub 12st without gear), but find my 250 much better all round.

Just my views on things, if that all helps

Thanks for your help, I'm quite a big bloke so I'm thinking the 250 or 300 would be a better fit.
